... stops at we choose number 3. There are no cars on the islands only horse and cart, lorries and diggers seem to be am exception. We stupidly get charged for walking through a forest and it stars to rain. Beer it is. The only entertainment here is watching a seagull steal a packet of cigarettes, we want a beach but everyone is charging, for 5 lire to 50. It's ok though we find our place amongst the locals and ...

... I really wanted to make an effort to see, and that was walkable so we decided to get into a walking state of mind and tackle the walk head on. As it turned out, we've had a great day. We walked through the backstreets on our side of the European part if the city and located a traditional Turkish bath we want to go to. It's called Finuzaga Hamami (Hamam is the Turkish word for bath). We were planning on returning later in the day and spending the late afternoon and early ...

The church was rather large, and echoed very nicely. Several of the songs sounded (from my perspective) awesome and even better in certain cases, due to the reverberation of the sound of our voices across the church. The audience seemed to really enjoy the concert. We did pretty well I think, except for the fact that I know I messed up ...

... and the wind was howling. still, we're proud we stood there and saw it all.

We got into the world's second largest city (something I wasnt aware of) at 6am. there was a free shuttle but it was only heading in the general area of Fatih and was going to be another 30 minutes. We negotiated with a cabbie and had a 20 minute ride to the hotel for 30 lira ( 10 pound). Thankfully there was someone waiting for us ...
